1500ac has just been taken off a contract farmer locally. It’s all going into green schemes and they’ve put all the maintenance of it out to tender. Looking at the tender pack and options chosen the income will be around £750,000 a year with very little costs.
I’ve also been told that big...
Not on his own. We dropped greenstar in favour of Trimble. We had SF1, SF2 and RTK from JD and it forever needed tweaking and dropping signal, especially the RTK system. As soon as the initial warranty ran out and they started charging us for telephone calls to their greenstar guru we had...
Friend runs two of the blue versions. They are worked very hard with multiple drivers so not looked after like a one man band would. Always serviced on the dot though. In 4 years and a 5000 hours one has been no trouble but the other has had lots of trouble with the biggest issue being the...
Yes caught a chap in his 60's stealing wood we have logged up a few days ago. Up a private drive away from the road and he was there in his brand new discovery with a ifor williams trailer helping himself, saying he thought it was free. I blocked him in until he removed every piece. Very verbal...
I know 2 long term storage farmers who are jacking it in due to payment rates not being anywhere near enough for what you need to do. You've got to have the infrastructure obviously but then also need a full time weighbridge person for the season. They need to be able to load the stores properly...
Thats got self storage written all over it. Make it two tiered with a lift and small individual units from 100 sqft upto 250sqft upstairs and 250sqft unto 500sqft downstairs.
None of them are paying enough now though to make it viable. The increases in fuel, insurance,labour costs, electric etc means you are storing it for free for them. The rate per tonne needs to double and why so many farmers are jacking it in which is why the merchants are looking for new sites.
I'd be going with 50% water just to be safe. So assuming a 4000l tank then 50% water 50% fert and an application rate of 200l/ha. Also try to do it in lower temps.
Did the tenant sublet (for cash probably) as DIY horse livery? If so then you are in a quagmire I am afraid. This happened to a friend and basically all the individual DIY'ers claimed they had a right to be there. None of them wanted to take it on as a whole and because the tenant was using the...
I dont see how. Nothing simpler than having a delivery of 23,000 litres and then applying it at say 300l/ha meaning you cover 76ha. That 23,000 litres is 29 tonnes at £350/tonne so £10,150 or £133/ha. 300l/ha application is 90kg/ha N and 28kg/ha So3
It easier to buy it by the tonne. EG N24 So37.5 has a SG of 1.26. So a tanker load of 29 tonnes is about 23,000 litres. Omex just sell it to you by the tonne.
